The Waiting by Angel Olsen
From the album Half Way Home.
Tabbed by Laxan.
I hastily wrote down the lyrics, so there may be errors.
Worked out the tab using this video of her playing live:

All open chords except Cm which is played as a barre chord.
Enjoy!
[Verse 1]
Cm D G
Here you come along,
Am D G
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong
Am D
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
Am D
Clearly you've proved me wrong
G Am D G
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone.
[Chorus]
Cm D G
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
Am D G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am D
Someone to run not walk
Am D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Am D
Oh, no hesitation at all
G Am D G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
Am D
Well I'm lost in my thoughts they tumble ahead
Am D
Over and over again, yeah it's true
[Verse 2]
Cm D G
Just take a look at what's been done to me
Cm D
I wasted time to ponder
Cm D
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
G Am D
Partly I do this to myself but why can't you see
G Am D
The gesture is small but know that it means the world to me
Am D
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning life
Am D
Forgiven myself and now, there's no returning
G Am D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G Am D
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G Am D G
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you
[Chorus]
Cm D G
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
Am D G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
Am D
Someone to run not walk
Am D
Oh, someone to sing not talk
Am D
Oh, no hesitation at all
G Am D G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
G Am D G
I need you to be the one
G Am D G
I need you to be the one
G Am D G
I need you to be the one
[Outro]
